Temple music marathon

The boys from Temple Church Choir are going on their first international tour this July, to Singapore and Australia. To help raise money for the tour, there is a 12-hour music marathon at Temple Church on 23 June 2016 from 9am to 9pm.

The marathon will feature artists of the Temple Church including the Boys' Choir, with a variety of artists performing every hour. There will be a chance to hear the recently restored Harrison organ in all its glory played by Roger Sayer, Greg Morris and others, as well as some wonderful chamber and choral music. Refreshments will be available all day including a cake stall, tea and coffee, and courtyard drinks in the evening.

There is a sponsorship page at Virgin Money Giving to enable people to support the appeal, with a number of tempting rewards.
